Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00002 Generate an error when configured with a CNAME loop,
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +00003 rather than a crash. Thanks to George Metz for
Simon Kelley903df072017-01-19 17:22:00 +00004 spotting this problem.

Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +01006 Calculate the length of TFTP error reply packet
7 correctly. This fixes a problem when the error
8 message in a TFTP packet exceeds the arbitrary
9 limit of 500 characters. The message was correctly
10 truncated, but not the packet length, so
11 extra data was appended. This is a possible
12 security risk, since the extra data comes from
13 a buffer which is also used for DNS, so that
14 previous DNS queries or replies may be leaked.
15 Thanks to Mozilla for funding the security audit
16 which spotted this bug.
17
Ivan Kokshaysky1d076672016-07-11 18:36:05 +010018 Fix logic error in Linux netlink code. This could
19 cause dnsmasq to enter a tight loop on systems
20 with a very large number of network interfaces.
21 Thanks to Ivan Kokshaysky for the diagnosis and
22 patch.
23
Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant06093a92016-07-11 21:03:27 +010024 Fix problem with --dnssec-timestamp whereby receipt
25 of SIGHUP would erroneously engage timestamp checking.
26 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for this work.
Simon Kelleyc8328ec2016-08-05 16:54:58 +010027
28 Bump zone serial on reloading /etc/hosts and friends
29 when providing authoritative DNS. Thanks to Harrald
30 Dunkel for spotting this.
Simon Kelley6d950992016-08-11 23:38:54 +010031
32 Handle v4-mapped IPv6 addresses sanely in --synth-domain.
33 These have standard representation like ::ffff:1.2.3.4
34 and are now converted to names like
35 <prefix>--ffff-1-2-3-4.<domain>
36
Beniamino Galvani2675f202016-08-28 20:44:05 +010037 Handle binding upstream servers to an interface
38 (--server=1.2.3.4@eth0) when the named interface
39 is destroyed and recreated in the kernel. Thanks to
40 Beniamino Galvani for the patch.
41
Simon Kelleyb637d782016-12-13 16:44:11 +000042 Allow wildcard CNAME records in authoritative zones.
43 For example --cname=*.example.com,default.example.com
44 Thanks to Pro Backup for sponsoring this development.
45
Simon Kelley09b768e2016-12-22 22:16:58 +000046 Bump the allowed backlog of TCP connections from 5 to 32,
47 and make this a compile-time configurable option. Thanks
48 to Donatas Abraitis for diagnosing this as a potential
49 problem.
50
ZHAO Yuf89cae32016-12-22 22:32:31 +000051 Add DNSMASQ_REQUESTED_OPTIONS environment variable to the
52 lease-change script. Thanks to ZHAO Yu for the patch.
Simon Kelley294d36d2016-07-06 21:30:25 +010053
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +000054 Fix foobar in rrfilter code, that could cause malformed
Simon Kelley0740e432017-01-26 18:02:54 +000055 replies, especially when DNSSEC validation on, and
56 the upstream server returns answer with the RRs in a
57 particular order. The only DNS server known to tickle
58 this is Nominum's. Thanks to Dave Täht for spotting the
59 bug and assisting in the fix.
60
Simon Kelleyd42d4702017-02-02 16:52:06 +000061 Fix the manpage which lied that only the primary address
62 of an interface is used by --interface-name.
63
64 Make --localise-queries apply to names from --interface-name.
65 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant and Eric Luehrsen
66 for pushing this.
67
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +000068 Improve connection handling when talking to TCP upstream
Simon Kelley361dfe52017-02-10 21:12:30 +000069 servers. Specifically, be prepared to open a new TCP
70 connection when we want to make multiple queries
71 but the upstream server accepts fewer queries per connection.
Hannu Nyman3e2496f2017-02-11 13:44:08 +000072
73 Improve logging of upstream servers when there are a lot
74 of "local addresses only" entries. Thanks to Hannu Nyman for
75 the patch.
Simon Kelley361dfe52017-02-10 21:12:30 +000076
Simon Kelley88a77a72017-02-11 17:02:02 +000077 Implement RFC 6842. Thanks to Reddeiah Raju Konduru for
78 pointing out that this was missing.
79
Simon Kelleyfca008d2017-02-19 18:50:41 +000080 Make --bogus-priv apply to IPv6, for the prefixes specified
81 in RFC6303. Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for work on this.
Floris Bos60704f52017-04-09 22:22:49 +010082
83 Allow use of MAC addresses with --tftp-unique-root. Thanks
84 to Floris Bos for the patch.
Floris Bos503c6092017-04-09 23:07:13 +010085
86 Add --dhcp-reply-delay option. Thanks to Floris Bos
87 for the patch.
Simon Kelleyfca008d2017-02-19 18:50:41 +000088
Simon Kelley88a77a72017-02-11 17:02:02 +000089
Simon Kelleyd2aa7df2015-08-03 21:52:12 +010090version 2.76
91 Include 0.0.0.0/8 in DNS rebind checks. This range
92 translates to hosts on the local network, or, at
93 least, 0.0.0.0 accesses the local host, so could
94 be targets for DNS rebinding. See RFC 5735 section 3
95 for details. Thanks to Stephen Röttger for the bug report.
Floris Bos503c6092017-04-09 23:07:13 +010096
Ed Bardsleya7369be2015-08-05 21:17:18 +010097 Enhance --add-subnet to allow arbitrary subnet addresses.
98 Thanks to Ed Barsley for the patch.
Simon Kelley77607cb2015-09-10 23:08:43 +010099
100 Respect the --no-resolv flag in inotify code. Fixes bug
101 which caused dnsmasq to fail to start if a resolv-file
102 was a dangling symbolic link, even of --no-resolv set.
103 Thanks to Alexander Kurtz for spotting the problem.
104
Edwin Török41a8d9e2015-11-14 17:45:48 +0000105 Fix crash when an A or AAAA record is defined locally,
106 in a hosts file, and an upstream server sends a reply
107 that the same name is empty. Thanks to Edwin Török for
108 the patch.
109
André Glüpkereddf3652016-01-12 12:54:17 +0000110 Fix failure to correctly calculate cache-size when
111 reading a hosts-file fails. Thanks to André Glüpker
112 for the patch.
113
Simon Kelleyd05dd582016-01-19 21:23:30 +0000114 Fix wrong answer to simple name query when --domain-needed
115 set, but no upstream servers configured. Dnsmasq returned
116 REFUSED, in this case, when it should be the same as when
117 upstream servers are configured - NOERROR. Thanks to
118 Allain Legacy for spotting the problem.
119
120 Return REFUSED when running out of forwarding table slots,
121 not SERVFAIL.
122
Hans Dedecker926332a2016-01-23 10:48:12 +0000123 Add --max-port configuration. Thanks to Hans Dedecker for
124 the patch.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000125
126 Add --script-arp and two new functions for the dhcp-script.
127 These are "arp" and "arp-old" which announce the arrival and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000128 removal of entries in the ARP or neighbour tables.
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000129
130 Extend --add-mac to allow a new encoding of the MAC address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000131 as base64, by configuring --add-mac=base64
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000132
Simon Kelley1e505122016-01-25 21:29:23 +0000133 Add --add-cpe-id option.
134
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000135 Don't crash with divide-by-zero if an IPv6 dhcp-range
136 is declared as a whole /64.
137 (ie xx::0 to xx::ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff)
138 Thanks to Laurent Bendel for spotting this problem.
139
Simon Kelleye06e6e32016-02-24 21:26:16 +0000140 Add support for a TTL parameter in --host-record and
141 --cname.
142
143 Add --dhcp-ttl option.
Simon Kelleyfdc97e12016-02-13 17:47:17 +0000144
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000145 Add --tftp-mtu option. Thanks to Patrick McLean for the
146 initial patch.
147
Simon Kelleya2bc2542016-04-21 22:34:22 +0100148 Check return-code of inet_pton() when parsing dhcp-option.
149 Bad addresses could fail to generate errors and result in
150 garbage dhcp-options being sent. Thanks to Marc Branchaud
151 for spotting this.
152
Simon Kelley14ffa072016-04-25 16:36:44 +0100153 Fix wrong value for EDNS UDP packet size when using
154 --servers-file to define upstream DNS servers. Thanks to
155 Scott Bonar for the bug report.
156
Simon Kelley69cbf782016-05-03 21:33:38 +0100157 Move the dhcp_release and dhcp_lease_time tools from
158 contrib/wrt to contrib/lease-tools.
159
160 Add dhcp_release6 to contrib/lease-tools. Many thanks
161 to Sergey Nechaev for this code.
162
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100163 To avoid filling logs in configurations which define
164 many upstream nameservers, don't log more that 30 servers.
165 The number to be logged can be changed as SERVERS_LOGGED
Simon Kelley68bea102016-05-11 22:15:06 +0100166 in src/config.h.
167
168 Swap the values if BC_EFI and x86-64_EFI in --pxe-service.
169 These were previously wrong due to an error in RFC 4578.
170 If you're using BC_EFI to boot 64-bit EFI machines, you
171 will need to update your config.
172
173 Add ARM32_EFI and ARM64_EFI as valid architectures in
174 --pxe-service.
Simon Kelleyb9702602016-05-03 22:34:06 +0100175
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100176 Fix PXE booting for UEFI architectures. Modify PXE boot
177 sequence in this case to force the client to talk to dnsmasq
178 over port 4011. This makes PXE and especially proxy-DHCP PXE
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000179 work with these architectures.
Simon Kelley0a4a0492016-05-15 20:13:45 +0100180
181 Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
182 in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
183 boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
184 --pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
185 will be booted directly, rather then sending a
186 single-item boot menu.
187
188 Many thanks to Jarek Polok, Michael Kuron and Dreamcat4
189 for their work on the long-standing UEFI PXE problem.
190
Simon Kelleyda2cad42016-05-18 15:14:08 +0100191 Subtle change in the semantics of "basename" in
192 --pxe-service. The historical behaviour has always been
193 that the actual filename downloaded from the TFTP server
194 is <basename>.<layer> where <layer> is an integer which
195 corresponds to the layer parameter supplied by the client.
196 It's not clear what the function of the "layer"
197 actually is in the PXE protocol, and in practise layer
198 is always zero, so the filename is <basename>.0
199 The new behaviour is the same as the old, except when
200 <basename> includes a file suffix, in which case
201 the layer suffix is no longer added. This allows
202 sensible suffices to be used, rather then the
203 meaningless ".0". Only in the unlikely event that you
204 have a config with a basename which already has a
205 suffix, is this an incompatible change, since the file
206 downloaded will change from name.suffix.0 to just
207 name.suffix
208
Simon Kelleybec366b2016-02-24 22:03:26 +0000209
Simon Kelley63ec5d12015-07-30 20:59:07 +0100210version 2.75
211 Fix reversion on 2.74 which caused 100% CPU use when a
212 dhcp-script is configured. Thanks to Adrian Davey for
213 reporting the bug and testing the fix.
214
215
Simon Kelley90cb2222015-07-05 21:59:10 +0100216version 2.74
217 Fix reversion in 2.73 where --conf-file would attempt to
218 read the default file, rather than no file.
219
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100220 Fix inotify code to handle dangling symlinks better and
221 not SEGV in some circumstances.
222
Simon Kelley13480e82015-07-16 22:23:13 +0100223 DNSSEC fix. In the case of a signed CNAME generated by a
224 wildcard which pointed to an unsigned domain, the wrong
225 status would be logged, and some necessary checks omitted.
226
Simon Kelley362c9302015-07-06 21:48:49 +0100227
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100228version 2.73
229 Fix crash at startup when an empty suffix is supplied to
230 --conf-dir, also trivial memory leak. Thanks to
231 Tomas Hozza for spotting this.
Simon Kelley800c5cc2014-12-15 17:50:15 +0000232
233 Remove floor of 4096 on advertised EDNS0 packet size when
234 DNSSEC in use, the original rationale for this has long gone.
235 Thanks to Anders Kaseorg for spotting this.
236
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000237 Use inotify for checking on updates to /etc/resolv.conf and
238 friends under Linux. This fixes race conditions when the files are
Simon Kelley04918052015-01-26 11:23:43 +0000239 updated rapidly and saves CPU by noy polling. To build
240 a binary that runs on old Linux kernels without inotify,
241 use make COPTS=-DNO_INOTIFY
Simon Kelley3ad3f3b2014-12-16 18:25:17 +0000242
243 Fix breakage of --domain=<domain>,<subnet>,local - only reverse
244 queries were intercepted. THis appears to have been broken
245 since 2.69. Thanks to Josh Stone for finding the bug.
Simon Kelley47669362014-12-17 12:41:56 +0000246
247 Eliminate IPv6 privacy addresses and deprecated addresses from
248 the answers given by --interface-name. Note that reverse queries
249 (ie looking for names, given addresses) are not affected.
250 Thanks to Michael Gorbach for the suggestion.
Simon Kelley094b5c32014-12-21 16:11:52 +0000251
252 Fix crash in DNSSEC code with long RRs. Thanks to Marco Davids
253 for the bug report.
Glen Huang32fc6db2014-12-27 15:28:12 +0000254
255 Add --ignore-address option. Ignore replies to A-record
256 queries which include the specified address. No error is
257 generated, dnsmasq simply continues to listen for another
258 reply. This is useful to defeat blocking strategies which
259 rely on quickly supplying a forged answer to a DNS
260 request for certain domains, before the correct answer can
261 arrive. Thanks to Glen Huang for the patch.
Simon Kelleyad946d52014-12-15 17:52:22 +0000262
Simon Kelley97e618a2015-01-07 21:55:43 +0000263 Revisit the part of DNSSEC validation which determines if an
264 unsigned answer is legit, or is in some part of the DNS
265 tree which should be signed. Dnsmasq now works from the
266 DNS root downward looking for the limit of signed
267 delegations, rather than working bottom up. This is
268 both more correct, and less likely to trip over broken
269 nameservers in the unsigned parts of the DNS tree
270 which don't respond well to DNSSEC queries.
Simon Kelley00cd9d52014-10-02 21:44:21 +0100271
Simon Kelley25cf5e32015-01-09 15:53:03 +0000272 Add --log-queries=extra option, which makes logs easier
273 to search automatically.
274
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000275 Add --min-cache-ttl option. I've resisted this for a long
276 time, on the grounds that disbelieving TTLs is never a
277 good idea, but I've been persuaded that there are
278 sometimes reasons to do it. (Step forward, GFW).
279 To avoid misuse, there's a hard limit on the TTL
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000280 floor of one hour. Thanks to RinSatsuki for the patch.
Simon Kelley39341552015-01-18 22:11:10 +0000281
282 Cope with multiple interfaces with the same link-local
283 address. (IPv6 addresses are scoped, so this is allowed.)
284 Thanks to Cory Benfield for help with this.
Simon Kelley5f4dc5c2015-01-20 20:51:02 +0000285
286 Add --dhcp-hostsdir. This allows addition of new host
287 configurations to a running dnsmasq instance much more
288 cheaply than having dnsmasq re-read all its existing
289 configuration each time.
RinSatsuki28de3872015-01-10 15:22:21 +0000290
Win King Wan61b838d2015-01-21 20:41:48 +0000291 Don't reply to DHCPv6 SOLICIT messages if we're not
292 configured to do stateful DHCPv6. Thanks to Win King Wan
293 for the patch.
294
Simon Kelley6ef15b32015-01-31 22:44:26 +0000295 Fix broken DNSSEC validation of ECDSA signatures.
Simon Kelleyf6e62e22015-03-01 18:17:54 +0000296
297 Add --dnssec-timestamp option, which provides an automatic
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100298 way to detect when the system time becomes valid after
299 boot on systems without an RTC, whilst allowing DNS
300 queries before the clock is valid so that NTP can run.
301 Thanks to Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for developing this idea.
Stefan Tomanek30d08792015-03-31 22:32:11 +0100302
303 Add --tftp-no-fail option. Thanks to Stefan Tomanek for
304 the patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100305
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100306 Fix crash caused by looking up servers.bind, CHAOS text
307 record, when more than about five --servers= lines are
308 in the dnsmasq config. This causes memory corruption
309 which causes a crash later. Thanks to Matt Coddington for
310 sterling work chasing this down.
311
312 Fix crash on receipt of certain malformed DNS requests.
313 Thanks to Nick Sampanis for spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley0df29f52015-04-16 15:24:52 +0100314 Note that this is could allow the dnsmasq process's
315 memory to be read by an attacker under certain
316 circumstances, so it has a CVE, CVE-2015-3294
Simon Kelley38440b22015-04-12 21:52:47 +0100317
318 Fix crash in authoritative DNS code, if a .arpa zone
319 is declared as authoritative, and then a PTR query which
320 is not to be treated as authoritative arrived. Normally,
321 directly declaring .arpa zone as authoritative is not
322 done, so this crash wouldn't be seen. Instead the
323 relevant .arpa zone should be specified as a subnet
324 in the auth-zone declaration. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee
325 for the bugreport and initial patch.
Simon Kelley04b0ac02015-04-06 17:19:13 +0100326
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100327 Fix authoritative DNS code to correctly reply to NS
328 and SOA queries for .arpa zones for which we are
329 declared authoritative by means of a subnet in auth-zone.
330 Previously we provided correct answers to PTR queries
331 in such zones (including NS and SOA) but not direct
332 NS and SOA queries. Thanks to Johnny S. Lee for
Simon Kelleya5ae1f82015-04-25 21:46:10 +0100333 pointing out the problem.
334
335 Fix logging of DHCPREPLY which should be suppressed
336 by quiet-dhcp6. Thanks to J. Pablo Abonia for
337 spotting the problem.
Simon Kelley78c61842015-04-16 15:05:30 +0100338
Simon Kelleya77cec82015-05-08 16:25:38 +0100339 Try and handle net connections with broken fragmentation
340 that lose large UDP packets. If a server times out,
341 reduce the maximum UDP packet size field in the EDNS0
342 header to 1280 bytes. If it then answers, make that
343 change permanent.
344
Simon Kelleyb059c962015-05-08 20:25:51 +0100345 Check IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses when --stop-rebind
346 is active. Thanks to Jordan Milne for spotting this.
347
Simon Kelleyca85a282015-05-13 22:33:04 +0100348 Allow DHCPv4 options T1 and T2 to be set using --dhcp-option.
349 Thanks to Kevin Benton for patches and work on this.
350
Simon Kelley89130d92015-06-03 22:30:59 +0100351 Fix code for DHCPCONFIRM DHCPv6 messages to confirm addresses
352 in the correct subnet, even of not in dynamic address
353 allocation range. Thanks to Steve Hirsch for spotting

386 patch.
387
Simon Kelleyb5ea1cc2014-07-29 16:34:14 +0100388 Add a mode which detects and removes DNS forwarding loops, ie
389 a query sent to an upstream server returns as a new query to
390 dnsmasq, and would therefore be forwarded again, resulting in
391 a query which loops many times before being dropped. Upstream
392 servers which loop back are disabled and this event is logged.
393 Thanks to Smoothwall for their sponsorship of this feature.
394
Simon Kelley3e1551a2014-09-09 21:46:07 +0100395 Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So

448 for spotting the problem.
449
Simon Kelleyc3a04082014-01-11 22:18:19 +0000450 Add [fd00::] and [fe80::] as special addresses in DHCPv6
451 options, analogous to [::]. [fd00::] is replaced with the
452 actual ULA of the interface on the machine running
453 dnsmasq, [fe80::] with the link-local address.
454 Thanks to Tsachi Kimeldorfer for championing this.
455
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000456 DNSSEC validation and caching. Dnsmasq needs to be
457 compiled with this enabled, with
458
459 make dnsmasq COPTS=-DHAVE_DNSSEC
460
461 this add dependencies on the nettle crypto library and the
462 gmp maths library. It's possible to have these linked
463 statically with
464
465 make dnsmasq COPTS='-DHAVE_DNSSEC -DHAVE_DNSSEC_STATIC'
466
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100467 which bloats the dnsmasq binary, but saves the size of
468 the shared libraries which are much bigger.
469
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000470 To enable, DNSSEC, you will need a set of
471 trust-anchors. Now that the TLDs are signed, this can be
472 the keys for the root zone, and for convenience they are
473 included in trust-anchors.conf in the dnsmasq
474 distribution. You should of course check that these are
475 legitimate and up-to-date. So, adding
476
477 conf-file=/path/to/trust-anchors.conf
478 dnssec
Simon Kelley1ee9be42013-12-09 16:50:19 +0000479
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000480 to your config is all that's needed to get things
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000481 working. The upstream nameservers have to be DNSSEC-capable
482 too, of course. Many ISP nameservers aren't, but the
483 Google public nameservers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) are.
484 When DNSSEC is configured, dnsmasq validates any queries
485 for domains which are signed. Query results which are
486 bogus are replaced with SERVFAIL replies, and results
487 which are correctly signed have the AD bit set. In
488 addition, and just as importantly, dnsmasq supplies
489 correct DNSSEC information to clients which are doing
490 their own validation, and caches DNSKEY, DS and RRSIG
491 records, which significantly improve the performance of
492 downstream validators. Setting --log-queries will show
493 DNSSEC in action.
494
Simon Kelley198d9402014-04-09 20:36:53 +0100495 If a domain is returned from an upstream nameserver without
496 DNSSEC signature, dnsmasq by default trusts this. This
497 means that for unsigned zone (still the majority) there
498 is effectively no cost for having DNSSEC enabled. Of course
499 this allows an attacker to replace a signed record with a
500 false unsigned record. This is addressed by the
501 --dnssec-check-unsigned flag, which instructs dnsmasq
502 to prove that an unsigned record is legitimate, by finding
503 a secure proof that the zone containing the record is not
504 signed. Doing this has costs (typically one or two extra
505 upstream queries). It also has a nasty failure mode if
506 dnsmasq's upstream nameservers are not DNSSEC capable.
507 Without --dnssec-check-unsigned using such an upstream
508 server will simply result in not queries being validated;
509 with --dnssec-check-unsigned enabled and a
510 DNSSEC-ignorant upstream server, _all_ queries will fail.
511
512 Note that DNSSEC requires that the local time is valid and
513 accurate, if not then DNSSEC validation will fail. NTP
514 should be running. This presents a problem for routers
515 without a battery-backed clock. To set the time needs NTP
516 to do DNS lookups, but lookups will fail until NTP has run.
517 To address this, there's a flag, --dnssec-no-timecheck
518 which disables the time checks (only) in DNSSEC. When dnsmasq
519 is started and the clock is not synced, this flag should
520 be used. As soon as the clock is synced, SIGHUP dnsmasq.
521 The SIGHUP clears the cache of partially-validated data and
522 resets the no-timecheck flag, so that all DNSSEC checks
523 henceforward will be complete.
524
Simon Kelley613d6c52014-02-04 11:50:11 +0000525 The development of DNSSEC in dnsmasq was started by
526 Giovanni Bajo, to whom huge thanks are owed. It has been
527 supported by Comcast, whose techfund grant has allowed for
528 an invaluable period of full-time work to get it to
529 a workable state.
530
Simon Kelleyde73a492014-02-17 21:43:27 +0000531 Add --rev-server. Thanks to Dave Taht for suggesting this.

Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000536 Add --local-service. Accept DNS queries only from hosts
537 whose address is on a local subnet, ie a subnet for which
538 an interface exists on the server. This option
Simon Kelleyf00690f2014-03-12 20:07:12 +0000539 only has effect if there are no --interface --except-interface,
Simon Kelleyc8a80482014-03-05 14:29:54 +0000540 --listen-address or --auth-server options. It is intended
541 to be set as a default on installation, to allow
542 unconfigured installations to be useful but also safe from
543 being used for DNS amplification attacks.
544
Simon Kelley604f7592014-03-22 19:33:43 +0000545 Fix crashes in cache_get_cname_target() when dangling CNAMEs

560 addresses.
561
562 Fix bug which meant that the DHCPv6 DUID was not available
563 in DHCP script runs during the lifetime of the dnsmasq
564 process which created the DUID de-novo. Once the DUID was
565 created and stored in the lease file and dnsmasq
566 restarted, this bug disappeared.
567
568 Fix bug introduced in 2.67 which could result in erroneous
569 NXDOMAIN returns to CNAME queries.
570
571 Fix build failures on MacOS X and openBSD.
572
573 Allow subnet specifications in --auth-zone to be interface
574 names as well as address literals. This makes it possible
575 to configure authoritative DNS when local address ranges
576 are dynamic and works much better than the previous
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000577 work-around which exempted constructed DHCP ranges from the
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000578 IP address filtering. As a consequence, that work-around
579 is removed. Under certain circumstances, this change wil
580 break existing configuration: if you're relying on the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000581 constructed-range exception, you need to change --auth-zone
Simon Kelley376d48c2013-11-13 13:04:30 +0000582 to specify the same interface as is used to construct your
583 DHCP ranges, probably with a trailing "/6" like this:
584 --auth-zone=example.com,eth0/6 to limit the addresses to
585 IPv6 addresses of eth0.
Simon Kelleydd9d9ce2013-11-15 11:24:00 +0000586

598 Check the arrival interface of incoming DNS and TFTP
599 requests via IPv6, even in --bind-interfaces mode. This
600 isn't possible for IPv4 and can generate scary warnings,
601 but as it's always possible for IPv6 (the API always
602 exists) then we should do it always.
Vladislav Grishenko4c82efc2013-12-03 16:05:30 +0000603
604 Tweak the rules on prefix-lengths in --dhcp-range for

615 Repair regression in 2.64. That release stopped sending
616 lease-time information in the reply to DHCPINFORM
617 requests, on the correct grounds that it was a standards
618 violation. However, this broke the dnsmasq-specific
619 dhcp_lease_time utility. Now, DHCPINFORM returns
620 lease-time only if it's specifically requested
621 (maintaining standards) and the dhcp_lease_time utility
622 has been taught to ask for it (restoring functionality).

634 Handle IPv4 interface-address labels in Linux. These are
635 often used to emulate the old IP-alias addresses. Before,
636 using --interface=eth0 would service all the addresses of
637 eth0, including ones configured as aliases, which appear
638 in ifconfig as eth0:0. Now, only addresses with the label
639 eth0 are active. This is not backwards compatible: if you
640 want to continue to bind the aliases too, you need to add
641 eg. --interface=eth0:0 to the config.

Simon Kelleye2ba0df2013-05-31 17:04:25 +0100662 If wildcards are used in --interface, don't assume that
663 there will only ever be one available interface for DHCP

Simon Kelley0932f9c2013-09-05 11:30:30 +0100714 Fix crash with empty tag: in --dhcp-range. Thanks to
715 Kaspar Schleiser for the bug report.
716
Simon Kelleyceae52d2013-09-12 15:05:47 +0100717 Add "baseline" and "bloatcheck" makefile targets, for
718 revealing size changes during development. Thanks to
719 Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
720
Simon Kelleyc8f2dd82013-09-13 11:22:55 +0100721 Cope with DHCPv6 clients which send REQUESTs without
722 address options - treat them as SOLICIT with rapid commit.
723
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100724 Support identification of clients by MAC address in
725 DHCPv6. When using a relay, the relay must support RFC
726 6939 for this to work. It always works for directly
727 connected clients. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko
728 for prompting this feature.
Simon Kelley861c8912013-09-25 15:30:30 +0100729
730 Remove the rule for constructed DHCP ranges that the local
731 address must be either the first or last address in the
732 range. This was originally to avoid SLAAC addresses, but
733 we now explicitly autoconfig and privacy addresses instead.
Simon Kelley89500e32013-09-20 16:29:20 +0100734
Simon Kelley889d8a12013-10-02 13:12:09 +0100735 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.

Simon Kelleyc4cd95d2013-10-10 20:58:11 +0100742 Add --ra-param option. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for
743 inspiration on this.
744
Simon Kelleyed4c0762013-10-08 20:46:34 +0100745 Add --add-subnet configuration, to tell upstream DNS
Simon Kelleyf65b0e52013-10-11 10:19:01 +0100746 servers where the original client is. Thanks to DNSthingy
747 for sponsoring this feature.

Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant8c0b73d2013-10-11 11:56:33 +0100749 Add --quiet-dhcp, --quiet-dhcp6 and --quiet-ra. Thanks to
750 Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant for the initial patch.
751
Simon Kelleyd56a6042013-10-11 14:39:03 +0100752 Allow A/AAAA records created by --interface-name to be the
753 target of --cname. Thanks to Hadmut Danisch for the
754 suggestion.
755
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100756 Avoid treating a --dhcp-host which has an IPv6 address
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000757 as eligible for use with DHCPv4 on the grounds that it has
Simon Kelley24b5a5d2013-10-11 15:19:28 +0100758 no address, and vice-versa. Thanks to Yury Konovalov for
759 spotting the problem.
760
Simon Kelley45cca582013-10-15 10:20:13 +0100761 Do a better job caching dangling CNAMEs. Thanks to Yves
762 Dorfsman for spotting the problem.

Simon Kelley333b2ce2013-01-07 21:46:03 +0000765version 2.66
766 Add the ability to act as an authoritative DNS
767 server. Dnsmasq can now answer queries from the wider 'net
768 with local data, as long as the correct NS records are set
769 up. Only local data is provided, to avoid creating an open
770 DNS relay. Zone transfer is supported, to allow secondary
771 servers to be configured.
772
773 Add "constructed DHCP ranges" for DHCPv6. This is intended
774 for IPv6 routers which get prefixes dynamically via prefix
775 delegation. With suitable configuration, stateful DHCPv6
776 and RA can happen automatically as prefixes are delegated
777 and then deprecated, without having to re-write the
778 dnsmasq configuration file or restart the daemon. Thanks to
779 Steven Barth for extensive testing and development work on
780 this idea.
Simon Kelley71c73ac2013-01-08 21:22:24 +0000781
782 Fix crash on startup on Solaris 11. Regression probably
Simon Kelley22ce5502013-01-22 13:53:04 +0000783 introduced in 2.61. Thanks to Geoff Johnstone for the
784 patch.
785
786 Add code to make behaviour for TCP DNS requests that same
787 as for UDP requests, when a request arrives for an allowed
788 address, but via a banned interface. This change is only
789 active on Linux, since the relevant API is missing (AFAIK)
790 on other platforms. Many thanks to Tomas Hozza for
791 spotting the problem, and doing invaluable discovery of
792 the obscure and undocumented API required for the solution.
Simon Kelleya21e27b2013-02-17 16:41:35 +0000793
794 Don't send the default DHCP option advertising dnsmasq as
795 the local DNS server if dnsmasq is configured to not act
796 as DNS server, or it's configured to a non-standard port.
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000797
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000798 Add DNSMASQ_CIRCUIT_ID, DNSMASQ_SUBSCRIBER_ID,
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000799 DNSMASQ_REMOTE_ID variables to the environment of the
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000800 lease-change script (and the corresponding Lua). These hold
Simon Kelleydd1721c2013-02-18 21:04:04 +0000801 information inserted into the DHCP request by a DHCP relay
802 agent. Thanks to Lakefield Communications for providing a
803 bounty for this addition.
804
Simon Kelley4038ae22013-02-19 16:47:07 +0000805 Fixed crash, introduced in 2.64, whilst handling DHCPv6
806 information-requests with some common configurations.
807 Thanks to Robert M. Albrecht for the bug report and
808 chasing the problem.
809
Jason A. Donenfeld13d86c72013-02-22 18:20:53 +0000810 Add --ipset option. Thanks to Jason A. Donenfeld for the
811 patch.
812
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000813 Don't erroneously reject some option names in --dhcp-match
Simon Kelley3d77c042013-03-22 10:03:50 +0000814 options. Thanks to Benedikt Hochstrasser for the bug report.
Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000815
816 Allow a trailing '*' wildcard in all interface-name
817 configurations. Thanks to Christian Parpart for the patch.
Simon Kelleyc7961072013-02-28 15:17:58 +0000818
Simon Kelley56a11422013-04-02 17:02:58 +0100819 Handle the situation where libc headers define
820 SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel in use doesn't, to cope with
821 the introduction of this option to Linux. Thanks to Rich
822 Felker for the bug report.
823
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100824 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
Simon Kelley0b0a73c2013-04-11 14:07:02 +0100825
826 Fix crash if the configured DHCP lease limit is
827 reached. Regression occurred in 2.61. Thanks to Tsachi for
828 the bug report.
Simon Kelleycd1e04a2013-04-02 20:11:48 +0100829
Simon Kelley834f36f2013-04-17 13:52:49 +0100830 Update the French translation. Thanks to Gildas le Nadan.

Simon Kelley49333cb2013-03-15 20:30:51 +0000832
Simon Kelleyee86ce62012-12-07 11:54:46 +0000833version 2.65
834 Fix regression which broke forwarding of queries sent via
835 TCP which are not for A and AAAA and which were directed to
836 non-default servers. Thanks to Niax for the bug report.
837
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000838 Fix failure to build with DHCP support excluded. Thanks to
839 Gustavo Zacarias for the patch.
Simon Kelley1d6c6392012-12-14 11:19:36 +0000840
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000841 Fix nasty regression in 2.64 which completely broke caching.
Simon Kelleyb5a8dd12012-12-10 11:37:25 +0000842
843
Simon Kelley2e34ac12012-08-29 14:15:25 +0100844version 2.64
845 Handle DHCP FQDN options with all flag bits zero and
846 --dhcp-client-update set. Thanks to Bernd Krumbroeck for
847 spotting the problem.
848
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100849 Finesse the check for /etc/hosts names which conflict with
850 DHCP names. Previously a name/address pair in /etc/hosts
851 which didn't match the name/address of a DHCP lease would
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000852 generate a warning. Now that only happens if there is not
Simon Kelley12d71ed2012-08-30 15:16:41 +0100853 also a match. This allows multiple addresses for a name in
854 /etc/hosts with one of them assigned via DHCP.
855
Simon Kelley4d0f5b42012-09-05 23:29:30 +0100856 Fix broken vendor-option processing for BOOTP. Thanks to
857 Hans-Joachim Baader for the bug report.
858
Simon Kelleydfb23b32012-09-18 21:44:47 +0100859 Don't report spurious netlink errors, regression in
860 2.63. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
861
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000862 Flag DHCP or DHCPv6 in startup logging. Thanks to

864
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000865 Add SetServersEx method in DBus interface. Thanks to Dan

867
Simon Kelley295a54e2012-12-01 21:02:15 +0000868 Add SetDomainServers method in DBus interface. Thanks to
869 Roy Marples for the patch.
870
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000871 Fix build with later Lua libraries. Thanks to Cristian
Simon Kelley289a2532012-09-20 15:29:35 +0100872 Rodriguez for the patch.

Simon Kelley1d860412012-09-20 20:48:04 +0100874 Add --max-cache-ttl option. Thanks to Dennis Kaarsemaker
875 for the patch.
876
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100877 Fix breakage of --host-record parsing, resulting in
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000878 infinite loop at startup. Regression in 2.63. Thanks to
Simon Kelleye4807d82012-09-27 21:52:26 +0100879 Haim Gelfenbeyn for spotting this.
880
Simon Kelley20223102012-10-15 10:41:17 +0100881 Set SO_REUSEADDRESS and SO_V6ONLY options on the DHCPv6
882 socket, this allows multiple instances of dnsmasq on a
883 single machine, in the same way as for DHCPv4. Thanks to
884 Gene Czarcinski and Vladislav Grishenko for work on this.
885
Simon Kelleybe6cfb42012-10-16 20:38:31 +0100886 Fix DHCPv6 to do access control correctly when it's
887 configured with --listen-address. Thanks to
888 Gene Czarcinski for sorting this out.
889
Simon Kelley819ff4d2012-10-21 18:25:12 +0100890 Add a "wildcard" dhcp-range which works for any IPv6
891 subnet, --dhcp-range=::,static Useful for Stateless
892 DHCPv6. Thanks to Vladislav Grishenko for the patch.
893
Simon Kelleyd1a59752012-11-05 16:50:30 +0000894 Don't include lease-time in DHCPACK replies to DHCPINFORM
895 queries, since RFC-2131 says we shouldn't. Thanks to
896 Wouter Ibens for pointing this out.
Simon Kelley8e4b8792012-11-14 14:12:56 +0000897
898 Makefile tweak to do dependency checking on header files.
899 Thanks to Johan Peeters for the patch.
Simon Kelleyd89fb4e2012-12-01 21:21:13 +0000900
901 Check interface for outgoing unsolicited router
902 advertisements, rather than relying on interface address
903 configuration. Thanks to Gene Czarinski for the patch.
Simon Kelley29d28dd2012-12-03 14:05:59 +0000904
905 Handle better attempts to transmit on interfaces which are
906 still doing DAD, and specifically do not just transmit
907 without setting source address and interface, since this
908 can cause very puzzling effects when a router
909 advertisement goes astray. Thanks again to Gene Czarinski.

917
Simon Kelley8b3ae2f2012-06-13 13:43:49 +0100918 Check that tftp-root directories are accessible before
919 start-up. Thanks to Daniel Veillard for the initial patch.
920
921 Allow more than one --tfp-root flag. The per-interface
922 stuff is pointless without that.
923
Simon Kelley54dd3932012-06-20 11:23:38 +0100924 Add --bind-dynamic. A hybrid mode between the default and
925 --bind-interfaces which copes with dynamically created
926 interfaces.
Simon Kelley6b617c02012-06-29 21:15:42 +0100927
928 A couple of fixes to the build system for Android. Thanks

Simon Kelley8bc4cec2012-07-03 21:04:11 +0100931 Remove the interface:<interface> argument in --dhcp-range, and
932 the interface argument to --enable-tftp. These were a
933 still-born attempt to allow automatic isolated
934 configuration by libvirt, but have never (to my knowledge)
935 been used, had very strange semantics, and have been
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +0000936 superseded by other mechanisms.

Simon Kelleyc4a7f902012-07-12 20:52:12 +0100938 Fixed bug logging filenames when duplicate dhcp-host

Simon Kelley42243212012-07-20 15:19:18 +0100946 Teach DHCPv6 about the RFC 4242 information-refresh-time
947 option, and add parsing if the minutes, hours and days
948 format for options. Thanks to Francois-Xavier Le Bail for
949 the suggestion.
950
951 Allow "w" (for week) as multiplier in lease times, as well
952 as seconds, minutes, hours and days. Álvaro Gámez Machado
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +0000953 spotted the omission.

960 Trudel-Lapierre for the patch.
961
Simon Kelleyfd05f122012-08-12 17:48:50 +0100962 Set the "prefix on-link" bit in Router

971
Simon Kelley919dd7c2012-05-12 15:23:09 +0100972 Fixed bug which caused missing periodic router
973 advertisements with some configurations. Thanks to

975
Simon Kelleyc64b7f62012-05-18 10:19:59 +0100976 Fixed bug which broke DHCPv6/RA with prefix lengths
977 which are not divisible by 8. Thanks to Andre Coetzee
978 for spotting this.
979
Simon Kelley18c63ef2012-05-21 14:34:15 +0100980 Fix non-response to router-solicitations when

982 configured. Thanks to Marien Zwart for the patch.
983
Simon Kelley9f7f3b12012-05-28 21:39:57 +0100984 Add --dns-rr, to allow arbitrary DNS resource records.
985
Simon Kelley5ae34bf2012-06-04 21:14:03 +0100986 Fixed bug which broke RA scheduling when an interface had
987 two addresses in the same network. Thanks to Jim Bos for
988 his help nailing this.
989
Simon Kelleyeabc6dd2012-03-07 20:28:20 +0000990version 2.61
991 Re-write interface discovery code on *BSD to use
992 getifaddrs. This is more portable, more straightforward,
993 and allows us to find the prefix length for IPv6
994 addresses.
995
Simon Kelley01d1b8d2012-03-28 21:37:25 +0100996 Add ra-names, ra-stateless and slaac keywords for DHCPv6.
997 Dnsmasq can now synthesise AAAA records for dual-stack
998 hosts which get IPv6 addresses via SLAAC. It is also now
999 possible to use SLAAC and stateless DHCPv6, and to
1000 tell clients to use SLAAC addresses as well as DHCP ones.
1001 Thanks to Dave Taht for help with this.
Simon Kelley7023e382012-03-09 12:05:49 +00001002
Simon Kelley8b372702012-03-09 17:45:10 +00001003 Add --dhcp-duid to allow DUID-EN uids to be used.
1004
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001005 Explicitly send DHCPv6 replies to the correct port, instead
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001006 of relying on clients to send requests with the correct
1007 source address, since at least one client in the wild gets
Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001008 this wrong. Thanks to Conrad Kostecki for help tracking
Simon Kelley8643ec72012-03-12 20:04:14 +00001009 this down.

1012 --dhcp-authoritative is in effect. This tells clients not
1013 to wait around for other DHCP servers.
1014
1015 Better logging of DHCPv6 options.
1016
Simon Kelleye759d422012-03-16 13:18:57 +00001017 Add --host-record. Thanks to Rob Zwissler for the

1019
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001020 Invoke the DHCP script with action "tftp" when a TFTP file
1021 transfer completes. The size of the file, address to which
1022 it was sent and complete pathname are supplied. Note that
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001023 version 2.60 introduced some script incompatibilities
Simon Kelleya9530962012-03-20 22:07:35 +00001024 associated with DHCPv6, and this is a further change. To
1025 be safe, scripts should ignore unknown actions, and if
1026 not IPv6-aware, should exit if the environment
1027 variable DNSMASQ_IAID is set. The use-case for this is
1028 to track netboot/install. Suggestion from Shantanu
1029 Gadgil.
1030
1031 Update contrib/port-forward/dnsmasq-portforward to reflect
1032 the above.
1033
1034 Set the environment variable DNSMASQ_LOG_DHCP when running

1037 Forkel.
1038
1039 Arrange that addresses specified with --listen-address
1040 work even if there is no interface carrying the
1041 address. This is chiefly useful for IPv4 loopback
1042 addresses, where any address in 127.0.0.0/8 is a valid
1043 loopback address, but normally only 127.0.0.1 appears on
1044 the lo interface. Thanks to Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre for
1045 the idea and initial patch.

Simon Kelley7d2b5c92012-03-23 10:00:02 +00001047 Fix crash, introduced in 2.60, when a DHCPINFORM is
1048 received from a network which has no valid dhcp-range.
1049 Thanks to Stephane Glondu for the bug report.
1050
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001051 Add a new DHCP lease time keyword, "deprecated" for
1052 --dhcp-range. This is only valid for IPv6, and sets the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001053 preferred lease time for both DHCP and RA to zero. The
Simon Kelleyc8257542012-03-28 21:15:41 +01001054 effect is that clients can continue to use the address
1055 for existing connections, but new connections will use
1056 other addresses, if they exist. This makes hitless
1057 renumbering at least possible.
1058
1059 Fix bug in address6_available() which caused DHCPv6 lease
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001060 acquisition to fail if more than one dhcp-range in use.

Simon Kelley1023dcb2012-04-09 18:00:08 +01001069 Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001070 may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-existent

Simon Kelley8358e0f2012-04-29 21:53:09 +01001074 on exactly one interface and --bind-interfaces is set. This
Simon Kelley9380ba72012-04-16 14:41:56 +01001075 makes the OpenStack use-case of one dnsmasq per virtual

1077 supported on other platforms. Thanks to Vishvananda Ishaya
Simon Kelleye46164e2012-04-16 16:39:38 +01001078 and the OpenStack team for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001100
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001101 Fix DHCP when using --listen-address with an IP address
1102 which is not the primary address of an interface.
1103
1104 Add --dhcp-client-update option.
1105
1106 Add Lua integration. Dnsmasq can now execute a DHCP
1107 lease-change script written in Lua. This needs to be
1108 enabled at compile time by setting HAVE_LUASCRIPT in
1109 src/config.h or running "make COPTS=-DHAVE_LUASCRIPT"
1110 Thanks to Jan-Piet Mens for the idea and proof-of-concept
1111 implementation.
1112
1113 Tidied src/config.h to distinguish between
1114 platform-dependent compile-time options which are selected
1115 automatically, and builder-selectable compile time
1116 options. Document the latter better, and describe how to
1117 set them from the make command line.
1118
1119 Tidied up IPPROTO_IP/SOL_IP (and IPv6 equivalent)
1120 confusion. IPPROTO_IP works everywhere now.
1121
1122 Set TOS on DHCP sockets, this improves things on busy
1123 wireless networks. Thanks to Dave Taht for the patch.
1124
Simon Kelley984d2fd2012-01-06 14:34:32 +00001125 Determine VERSION automatically based on git magic:
1126 release tags or hash values.

Simon Kelleya2761752012-01-18 16:07:21 +00001128 Improve start-up speed when reading large hosts files
1129 containing many distinct addresses.
1130
1131 Fix problem if dnsmasq is started without the stdin,
1132 stdout and stderr file descriptors open. This can manifest
1133 itself as 100% CPU use. Thanks to Chris Moore for finding
1134 this.
1135
Simon Kelley9bbc8872012-02-09 21:33:09 +00001136 Fix shell-scripting bug in bld/pkg-wrapper. Thanks to
1137 Mark Mitchell for the patch.
1138
Simon Kelley751d6f42012-02-10 15:24:51 +00001139 Allow the TFP server or boot server in --pxe-service, to
1140 be a domain name instead of an IP address. This allows for
1141 round-robin to multiple servers, in the same way as
1142 --dhcp-boot. A good suggestion from Cristiano Cumer.
1143
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001144 Support BUILDDIR variable in the Makefile. Allows builds
1145 for multiple archs from the same source tree with eg.
1146 make BUILDDIR=linux (relative to dnsmasq tree)
1147 make BUILDDIR=/tmp/openbsd (absolute path)
Simon Kelleye5ffdb92012-02-13 14:19:25 +00001148 If BUILDDIR is not set, compilation happens in the src
Simon Kelleyb36ae192012-02-13 12:54:34 +00001149 directory, as before. Suggestion from Mark Mitchell.
1150
Simon Kelleyfdacfb02012-02-28 15:20:25 +00001151 Support DHCPv6. Support is there for the sort of things
1152 the existing v4 server does, including tags, options,
1153 static addresses and relay support. Missing is prefix
1154 delegation, which is probably not required in the dnsmasq
1155 niche, and an easy way to accept prefix delegations from
1156 an upstream DHCPv6 server, which is. Future plans include
1157 support for DHCPv6 router option and MAC address option
1158 (to make selecting clients by MAC address work like IPv4).
1159 These will be added as the standards mature.
1160 This code has been tested, but this is the first release,
1161 so don't bet the farm on it just yet. Many thanks to all
1162 testers who have got it this far.
Simon Kelley1adadf52012-02-13 22:15:58 +00001163
Simon Kelleyac8540c2012-02-26 20:57:31 +00001164 Support IPv6 router advertisements. This is a
1165 simple-minded implementation, aimed at providing the
1166 vestigial RA needed to go alongside IPv6. Is picks up
1167 configuration from the DHCPv6 conf, and should just need
1168 enabling with --enable-ra.
1169
Simon Kelley552af8b2012-02-29 20:10:31 +00001170 Fix long-standing wrinkle with --localise-queries that
1171 could result in wrong answers when DNS packets arrive
1172 via an interface other than the expected one. Thanks to
1173 Lorenzo Milesi and John Hanks for spotting this one.

1179
Simon Kelleyc72daea2012-01-05 21:33:27 +00001180version 2.59
1181 Fix regression in 2.58 which caused failure to start up
1182 with some combinations of dnsmasq config and IPv6 kernel
1183 network config. Thanks to Brielle Bruns for the bug
1184 report.
1185
1186 Improve dnsmasq's behaviour when network interfaces are
1187 still doing duplicate address detection (DAD). Previously,
1188 dnsmasq would wait up to 20 seconds at start-up for the
1189 DAD state to terminate. This is broken for bridge
1190 interfaces on recent Linux kernels, which don't start DAD
1191 until the bridge comes up, and so can take arbitrary
1192 time. The new behaviour lets dnsmasq poll for an arbitrary
1193 time whilst providing service on other interfaces. Thanks
1194 to Stephen Hemminger for pointing out the problem.
Simon Kelley74c95c22011-10-19 09:33:39 +01001195
1196
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001197version 2.58
1198 Provide a definition of the SA_SIZE macro where it's
1199 missing. Fixes build failure on openBSD.
1200
1201 Don't include a zero terminator at the end of messages
1202 sent to /dev/log when /dev/log is a datagram socket.
1203 Thanks to Didier Rabound for spotting the problem.
1204
1205 Add --dhcp-sequential-ip flag, to force allocation of IP
1206 addresses in ascending order. Note that the default
1207 pseudo-random mode is in general better but some
1208 server-deployment applications need this.
1209
1210 Fix problem where a server-id of 0.0.0.0 is sent to a
1211 client when a dhcp-relay is in use if a client renews a
1212 lease after dnsmasq restart and before any clients on the
1213 subnet get a new lease. Thanks to Mike Ruiz for assistance
1214 in chasing this one down.
1215
1216 Don't return NXDOMAIN to an AAAA query if we have CNAME
1217 which points to an A record only: NODATA is the correct
1218 reply in this case. Thanks to Tom Fernandes for spotting
1219 the problem.
1220
1221 Relax the need to supply a netmask in --dhcp-range for
1222 networks which use a DHCP relay. Whilst this is still
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001223 desirable, in the absence of a netmask dnsmasq will use
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001224 a default based on the class (A, B, or C) of the address.
1225 This should at least remove a cause of mysterious failure
1226 for people using RFC1918 addresses and relays.
1227
1228 Add support for Linux conntrack connection marking. If
1229 enabled with --conntrack, the connection mark for incoming
1230 DNS queries will be copied to the outgoing connections
1231 used to answer those queries. This allows clever firewall
1232 and accounting stuff. Only available if dnsmasq is
1233 compiled with HAVE_CONNTRACK and adds a dependency on
1234 libnetfilter-conntrack. Thanks to Ed Wildgoose for the
1235 initial idea, testing and sponsorship of this function.
1236
1237 Provide a sane error message when someone attempts to
1238 match a tag in --dhcp-host.
1239
1240 Tweak the behaviour of --domain-needed, to avoid problems
1241 with recursive nameservers downstream of dnsmasq. The new
1242 behaviour only stops A and AAAA queries, and returns
1243 NODATA rather than NXDOMAIN replies.
1244
1245 Efficiency fix for very large DHCP configurations, thanks
1246 to James Gartrell and Mike Ruiz for help with this.
1247
1248 Allow the TFTP-server address in --dhcp-boot to be a
1249 domain-name which is looked up in /etc/hosts. This can
1250 give multiple IP addresses which are used round-robin,
1251 thus doing TFTP server load-balancing. Thanks to Sushil
1252 Agrawal for the patch.
1253
1254 When two tagged dhcp-options for a particular option
1255 number are both valid, use the one which is valid without
1256 a tag from the dhcp-range. Allows overriding of the value
1257 of a DHCP option for a particular host as well as
1258 per-network values. So
1259 --dhcp-range=set:interface1,......
1260 --dhcp-host=set:myhost,.....
1261 --dhcp-option=tag:interface1,option:nis-domain,"domain1"
1262 --dhcp-option=tag:myhost,option:nis-domain,"domain2"
1263 will set the NIS-domain to domain1 for hosts in the range, but
1264 override that to domain2 for a particular host.
1265
1266 Fix bug which resulted in truncated files and timeouts for
1267 some TFTP transfers. The bug only occurs with netascii
1268 transfers and needs an unfortunate relationship between
1269 file size, blocksize and the number of newlines in the
1270 last block before it manifests itself. Many thanks to
1271 Alkis Georgopoulos for spotting the problem and providing
1272 a comprehensive test-case.
1273
1274 Fix regression in TFTP server on *BSD platforms introduced
1275 in version 2.56, due to confusion with sockaddr
Simon Kelleyde604c12012-10-19 09:50:01 +01001276 length. Many thanks to Loic Pefferkorn for finding this.
Simon Kelley7de060b2011-08-26 17:24:52 +01001277
1278 Support scope-ids in IPv6 addresses of nameservers from
1279 /etc/resolv.conf and in --server options. Eg
1280 nameserver fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0 or
1281 server=fe80::202:a412:4512:7bbf%eth0. Thanks to
1282 Michael Stapelberg for the suggestion.

Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001289version 2.57
1290 Add patches to allow build under Android.
1291
1292 Provide our own header for the DNS protocol, rather than
1293 relying on arpa/nameser.h. This has proved more or less
1294 defective over the years and the final straw is that it's
1295 effectively empty on Android.
1296
1297 Fix regression in 2.56 which caused hex constants in
1298 configuration to be rejected if they contain the '*'
1299 wildcard.
1300
1301 Correct wrong casts of arguments to ctype.h functions,
1302 isdigit(), isxdigit() etc. Thanks to Matthias Andree for
1303 spotting this.
1304
1305 Allow build with IDN support independently from i18n.
1306 IDN support continues to be included automatically
1307 when i18n is included.
1308 'make COPTS=-DHAVE_IDN' is the magic incantation.
1309
1310 Modify check on extraneous command line junk (added in
1311 2.56) so that it doesn't complain about extra _empty_
1312 arguments. Otherwise this breaks libvirt.
1313
1314
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001315version 2.56
1316 Add a patch to allow dnsmasq to get interface names right in a
1317 Solaris zone. Thanks to Dj Padzensky for this.
1318
1319 Improve data-type parsing heuristics so that
1320 --dhcp-option=option:domain-search,.
1321 treats the value as a string and not an IP address.
1322 Thanks to Clemens Fischer for spotting that.
1323
1324 Add IPv6 support to the TFTP server. Many thanks to Jan
1325 'RedBully' Seiffert for the patches.
1326
1327 Log DNS queries at level LOG_INFO, rather then
1328 LOG_DEBUG. This makes things consistent with DHCP
1329 logging. Thanks to Adam Pribyl for spotting the problem.
1330
1331 Ensure that dnsmasq terminates cleanly when using
1332 --syslog-async even if it cannot make a connection to the
1333 syslogd.
1334
1335 Add --add-mac option. This is to support currently
1336 experimental DNS filtering facilities. Thanks to Benjamin
klemens43517fc2017-02-19 15:53:37 +00001337 Petrin for the original patch.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001338
1339 Fix bug which meant that tags were ignored in dhcp-range
1340 configuration specifying PXE-proxy service. Thanks to
1341 Cristiano Cumer for spotting this.
1342
1343 Raise an error if there is extra junk, not part of an
1344 option, on the command line.
1345
1346 Flag a couple of log messages in cache.c as coming from
1347 the DHCP subsystem. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the patch.
1348
1349 Omit timestamps from logs when a) logging to stderr and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001350 b) --keep-in-foreground is set. The logging facility on the
1351 other end of stderr can be assumed to supply them. Thanks
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001352 to John Hallam for the patch.
1353
1354 Don't complain about strings longer than 255 characters in
1355 --txt-record, just split the long strings into 255
1356 character chunks instead.
1357
1358 Fix crash on double-free. This bug can only happen when
1359 dhcp-script is in use and then only in rare circumstances
1360 triggered by high DHCP transaction rate and a slow
1361 script. Thanks to Ferenc Wagner for finding the problem.
1362
1363 Only log that a file has been sent by TFTP after the
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001364 transfer has completed successfully.
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001365
1366 A good suggestion from Ferenc Wagner: extend
1367 the --domain option to allow this sort of thing:
1368 --domain=thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.0.0/24,local
1369 which automatically creates
1370 --local=/thekelleys.org.uk/
1371 --local=/0.168.192.in-addr.arpa/
1372
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001373 Tighten up syntax checking of hex constants in the config
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001374 file. Thanks to Fred Damen for spotting this.
1375
1376 Add dnsmasq logo/icon, contributed by Justin Swift. Many
1377 thanks for that.
1378
1379 Never cache DNS replies which have the 'cd' bit set, or
1380 which result from queries forwarded with the 'cd' bit
1381 set. The 'cd' bit instructs a DNSSEC validating server
1382 upstream to ignore signature failures and return replies
1383 anyway. Without this change it's possible to pollute the
1384 dnsmasq cache with bad data by making a query with the
1385 'cd' bit set and subsequent queries would return this data
1386 without its being marked as suspect. Thanks to Anders
1387 Kaseorg for pointing out this problem.
1388
1389 Add --proxy-dnssec flag, for compliance with RFC
1390 4035. Dnsmasq will now clear the 'ad' bit in answers returned
1391 from upstream validating nameservers unless this option is
1392 set.
1393
1394 Allow a filename of "-" for --conf-file to read
1395 stdin. Suggestion from Timothy Redaelli.
1396
1397 Rotate the order of SRV records in replies, to provide
1398 round-robin load balancing when all the priorities are
1399 equal. Thanks to Peter McKinney for the suggestion.
1400
1401 Edit
1402 contrib/MacOSX-launchd/uk.org.thekelleys.dnsmasq.plist
1403 so that it doesn't log all queries to a file by
1404 default. Thanks again to Peter McKinney.
1405
1406 By default, setting an IPv4 address for a domain but not
1407 an IPv6 address causes dnsmasq to return
1408 an NODATA reply for IPv6 (or vice-versa). So
1409 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4 stops IPv6 queries for
1410 *google.com from being forwarded. Make it possible to
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001411 override this behaviour by defining the semantics if the
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001412 same domain appears in both --server and --address.
1413 In that case, the --address has priority for the address
1414 family in which is appears, but the --server has priority
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001415 of the address family which doesn't appear in --address
Simon Kelley28866e92011-02-14 20:19:14 +00001416 So:
1417 --address=/google.com/1.2.3.4
1418 --server=/google.com/#
1419 will return 1.2.3.4 for IPv4 queries for *.google.com but
1420 forward IPv6 queries to the normal upstream nameserver.
1421 Similarly when setting an IPv6 address
1422 only this will allow forwarding of IPv4 queries. Thanks to
1423 William for pointing out the need for this.
1424
1425 Allow more than one --dhcp-optsfile and --dhcp-hostsfile
1426 and make them understand directories as arguments in the
1427 same way as --addn-hosts. Suggestion from John Hanks.
1428
1429 Ignore rebinding requests for leases we don't know
1430 about. Rebind is broadcast, so we might get to overhear a
1431 request meant for another DHCP server. NAKing this is
1432 wrong. Thanks to Brad D'Hondt for assistance with this.
1433
Simon Kelley572b41e2011-02-18 18:11:18 +00001434 Fix cosmetic bug which produced strange output when

Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001455version 2.53
1456 Fix failure to compile on Debian/kFreeBSD. Thanks to
1457 Axel Beckert and Petr Salinger.
1458
1459 Fix code to avoid scary strict-aliasing warnings
1460 generated by gcc 4.4.
1461
1462 Added FAQ entry warning about DHCP failures with Vista
1463 when firewalls block 255.255.255.255.
1464
1465 Fixed bug which caused bad things to happen if a
1466 resolv.conf file which exists is subsequently removed.
1467 Thanks to Nikolai Saoukh for the patch.
1468
1469 Rationalised the DHCP tag system. Every configuration item
1470 which can set a tag does so by adding "set:<tag>" and
1471 every configuration item which is conditional on a tag is
1472 made so by "tag:<tag>". The NOT operator changes to '!',
1473 which is a bit more intuitive too. Dhcp-host directives
1474 can set more than one tag now. The old '#' NOT,
1475 "net:" prefix and no-prefixes are still honoured, so
1476 no existing config file needs to be changed, but
1477 the documentation and new-style config files should be
1478 much less confusing.
1479
1480 Added --tag-if to allow boolean operations on tags.
1481 This allows complicated logic to be clearer and more
1482 general. A great suggestion from Richard Voigt.
1483
1484 Add broadcast/unicast information to DHCP logging.
1485
1486 Allow --dhcp-broadcast to be unconditional.
1487
1488 Fixed incorrect behaviour with NOT <tag> conditionals in
1489 dhcp-options. Thanks to Max Turkewitz for assistance
1490 finding this.
1491
1492 If we send vendor-class encapsulated options based on the
1493 vendor-class supplied by the client, and no explicit
1494 vendor-class option is given, echo back the vendor-class
1495 from the client.
1496
1497 Fix bug which stopped dnsmasq from matching both a
1498 circuitid and a remoteid. Thanks to Ignacio Bravo for
1499 finding this.
1500
1501 Add --dhcp-proxy, which makes it possible to configure
1502 dnsmasq to use a DHCP relay agent as a full proxy, with
1503 all DHCP messages passing through the proxy. This is
1504 useful if the relay adds extra information to the packets
1505 it forwards, but cannot be configured with the RFC 5107
1506 server-override option.
1507
1508 Added interface:<iface name> part to dhcp-range. The
1509 semantics of this are very odd at first sight, but it
1510 allows a single line of the form
1511 dhcp-range=interface:virt0,192.168.0.4,192.168.0.200
1512 to be added to dnsmasq configuration which then supplies
1513 DHCP and DNS services to that interface, without affecting
1514 what services are supplied to other interfaces and
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001515 irrespective of the existence or lack of
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001516 interface=<interface>
1517 lines elsewhere in the dnsmasq configuration. The idea is
1518 that such a line can be added automatically by libvirt
1519 or equivalent systems, without disturbing any manual
1520 configuration.
1521
1522 Similarly to the above, allow --enable-tftp=<interface>
1523
1524 Allow a TFTP root to be set separately for requests via
1525 different interfaces, --tftp-root=<path>,<interface>
1526
1527 Correctly handle and log clashes between CNAMES and
1528 DNS names being given to DHCP leases. This fixes a bug
1529 which caused nonsense IP addresses to be logged. Thanks to
1530 Sergei Zhirikov for finding and analysing the problem.
1531
1532 Tweak flush_log so as to avoid leaving the log
1533 file in non-blocking mode. O_NONBLOCK is a property of the
1534 file, not the process/descriptor.
1535
1536 Fix contrib/Solaris10/create_package
1537 (/usr/man -> /usr/share/man) Thanks to Vita Batrla.
1538
1539 Fix a problem where, if a client got a lease, then went
1540 to another subnet and got another lease, then moved back,
1541 it couldn't resume the old lease, but would instead get
1542 a new address. Thanks to Leonardo Rodrigues for spotting
1543 this and testing the fix.
1544
1545 Fix weird bug which sometimes omitted certain characters
1546 from the start of quoted strings in dhcp-options. Thanks
1547 to Dayton Turner for spotting the problem.
1548
1549 Add facility to redirect some domains to the standard
1550 upstream servers: this allows something like
1551 --server=/google.com/1.2.3.4 --server=/www.google.com/#
1552 which will send queries for *.google.com to 1.2.3.4,
1553 except *www.google.com which will be forwarded as usual.
1554 Thanks to AJ Weber for prompting this addition.
1555
1556 Improve the hash-algorithm used to generate IP addresses
1557 from MAC addresses during initial DHCP address
1558 allocation. This improves performance when large numbers
1559 of hosts with similar MAC addresses all try and get an IP
1560 address at the same time. Thanks to Paul Smith for his
1561 work on this.
1562
1563 Tweak DHCP code so that --bridge-interface can be used to
1564 select which IP alias of an interface should be used for
1565 DHCP purposes on Linux. If eth0 has an alias eth0:dhcp
1566 then adding --bridge-interface=eth0:dhcp,eth0 will use
1567 the address of eth0:dhcp to determine the correct subnet
1568 for DHCP address allocation. Thanks to Pawel Golaszewski
1569 for prompting this and Eric Cooper for further testing.
1570
1571 Add --dhcp-generate-names. Suggestion by Ferenc Wagner.
1572
1573 Tweak DNS server selection algorithm when there is more
1574 than one server available for a domain, eg.
1575 --server=/mydomain/1.1.1.1
1576 --server=/mydomain/2.2.2.2
1577 Thanks to Alberto Cuesta-Canada for spotting a weakness
1578 here.
1579
1580 Add --max-ttl. Thanks to Fredrik Ringertz for the patch.
1581
1582 Allow --log-facility=- to force all logging to
1583 stderr. Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1584
1585 Fix regression which caused configuration like
1586 --address=/.domain.com/1.2.3.4 to be rejected. The dot to the
1587 left of the domain has been implied and not required for a
1588 long time, but it should be accepted for backward
1589 compatibility. Thanks to Andrew Burcin for spotting this.
1590
1591 Add --rebind-domain-ok and --rebind-localhost-ok.
1592 Suggestion from Clemens Fischer.
1593
1594 Log replies to queries of type TXT, when --log-queries
1595 is set.
1596
1597 Fix compiler warnings when compiled with -DNO_DHCP. Thanks
1598 to Shantanu Gadgil for the patch.
1599
1600 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1601
1602 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1603
1604 Updated German translation. Thanks to Matthias Andree.
1605
1606 Added contrib/static-arp, thanks to Darren Hoo.
1607
1608 Fix corruption of the domain when a name from /etc/hosts
1609 overrides one supplied by a DHCP client. Thanks to Fedor
1610 Kozhevnikov for spotting the problem.
1611
1612 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1613
1614
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001615version 2.52
1616 Work around a Linux kernel bug which insists that the
1617 length of the option passed to setsockopt must be at least
1618 sizeof(int) bytes, even if we're calling SO_BINDTODEVICE
1619 and the device name is "lo". Note that this is fixed
1620 in kernel 2.6.31, but the workaround is harmless and
1621 allows earlier kernels to be used. Also fix dnsmasq
1622 bug which reported the wrong address when this failed.
1623 Thanks to Fedor for finding this.
1624
1625 The API for IPv6 PKTINFO changed around Linux kernel
1626 2.6.14. Workaround the case where dnsmasq is compiled
1627 against newer headers, but then run on an old kernel:
1628 necessary for some *WRT distros.
1629
1630 Re-read the set of network interfaces when re-loading
1631 /etc/resolv.conf if --bind-interfaces is not set. This
1632 handles the case that loopback interfaces do not exist
1633 when dnsmasq is first started.
1634
1635 Tweak the PXE code to support port 4011. This should
1636 reduce broadcasts and make things more reliable when other
1637 servers are around. It also improves inter-operability
1638 with certain clients.
1639
1640 Make a pxe-service configuration with no filename or boot
1641 service type legal: this does a local boot. eg.
1642 pxe-service=x86PC, "Local boot"
1643
1644 Be more conservative in detecting "A for A"
1645 queries. Dnsmasq checks if the name in a type=A query looks
1646 like a dotted-quad IP address and answers the query itself
1647 if so, rather than forwarding it. Previously dnsmasq
1648 relied in the library function inet_addr() to convert
1649 addresses, and that will accept some things which are
1650 confusing in this context, like 1.2.3 or even just
1651 1234. Now we only do A for A processing for four decimal
1652 numbers delimited by dots.
1653
1654 A couple of tweaks to fix compilation on Solaris. Thanks
1655 to Joel Macklow for help with this.
1656
1657 Another Solaris compilation tweak, needed for Solaris
1658 2009.06. Thanks to Lee Essen for that.
1659
1660 Added extract packaging stuff from Lee Essen to
1661 contrib/Solaris10.
1662
1663 Increased the default limit on number of leases to 1000
1664 (from 150). This is mainly a defence against DoS attacks,
1665 and for the average "one for two class C networks"
1666 installation, IP address exhaustion does that just as
1667 well. Making the limit greater than the number of IP
1668 addresses available in such an installation removes a
1669 surprise which otherwise can catch people out.
1670
1671 Removed extraneous trailing space in the value of the
1672 DNSMASQ_TIME_REMAINING DNSMASQ_LEASE_LENGTH and
1673 DNSMASQ_LEASE_EXPIRES environment variables. Thanks to
1674 Gildas Le Nadan for spotting this.
1675
1676 Provide the network-id tags for a DHCP transaction to
1677 the lease-change script in the environment variable
1678 DNSMASQ_TAGS. A good suggestion from Gildas Le Nadan.
1679
1680 Add support for RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor
1681 Options". The syntax looks like this:
1682 --dhcp-option=vi-encap:<enterprise number>, .........
1683
1684 Add support to --dhcp-match to allow matching against
1685 RFC3925 "Vendor-Identifying Vendor Classes". The syntax
1686 looks like this:
1687 --dhcp-match=tag,vi-encap<enterprise number>, <value>
1688
1689 Add some application specific code to assist in
1690 implementing the Broadband forum TR069 CPE-WAN
1691 specification. The details are in contrib/CPE-WAN/README
1692
1693 Increase the default DNS packet size limit to 4096, as
1694 recommended by RFC5625 section 4.4.3. This can be
1695 reconfigured using --edns-packet-max if needed. Thanks to
1696 Francis Dupont for pointing this out.
1697
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001698 Rewrite query-ids even for TSIG signed packets, since
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001699 this is allowed by RFC5625 section 4.5.
1700
1701 Use getopt_long by default on OS X. It has been supported
1702 since version 10.3.0. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for spotting
1703 this.
1704
1705 Added up-to-date startup configuration for MacOSX/launchd
1706 in contrib/MacOSX-launchd. Thanks to Arek Dreyer for
1707 providing this.
1708
1709 Fix link error when including Dbus but excluding DHCP.
1710 Thanks to Oschtan for the bug report.
1711
1712 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1713
1714 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1715
1716 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
1717
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001718 Fixed confusion about domains, when looking up DHCP hosts
1719 in /etc/hosts. This could cause spurious "Ignoring
1720 domain..." messages. Thanks to Fedor Kozhevnikov for
1721 finding and analysing the problem.
Simon Kelley316e2732010-01-22 20:16:09 +00001722
Simon Kelley8ef5ada2010-06-03 19:42:45 +01001723
Simon Kelley1f15b812009-10-13 17:49:32 +01001724version 2.51
1725 Add support for internationalised DNS. Non-ASCII characters
1726 in domain names found in /etc/hosts, /etc/ethers and
1727 /etc/dnsmasq.conf will be correctly handled by translation to
1728 punycode, as specified in RFC3490. This function is only
1729 available if dnsmasq is compiled with internationalisation
1730 support, and adds a dependency on GNU libidn. Without i18n
1731 support, dnsmasq continues to be compilable with just
1732 standard tools. Thanks to Yves Dorfsman for the
1733 suggestion.
1734
1735 Add two more environment variables for lease-change scripts:
1736 First, DNSMASQ_SUPPLIED_HOSTNAME; this is set to the hostname
1737 supplied by a client, even if the actual hostname used is
1738 over-ridden by dhcp-host or dhcp-ignore-names directives.
1739 Also DNSMASQ_RELAY_ADDRESS which gives the address of
1740 a DHCP relay, if used.
1741 Suggestions from Michael Rack.
1742
1743 Fix regression which broke echo of relay-agent
1744 options. Thanks to Michael Rack for spotting this.
1745
1746 Don't treat option 67 as being interchangeable with
1747 dhcp-boot parameters if it's specified as
1748 dhcp-option-force.
1749
1750 Make the code to call scripts on lease-change compile-time
1751 optional. It can be switched off by editing src/config.h
1752 or building with "make COPTS=-DNO_SCRIPT".
1753
1754 Make the TFTP server cope with filenames from Windows/DOS
1755 which use '\' as pathname separator. Thanks to Ralf for
1756 the patch.
1757
1758 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1759
1760 Warn if an IP address is duplicated in /etc/ethers. Thanks
1761 to Felix Schwarz for pointing this out.
1762
1763 Teach --conf-dir to take an option list of file suffices
1764 which will be ignored when scanning the directory. Useful
1765 for backup files etc. Thanks to Helmut Hullen for the
1766 suggestion.
1767
1768 Add new DHCP option named tftpserver-address, which
1769 corresponds to the third argument of dhcp-boot. This
1770 allows the complete functionality of dhcp-boot to be
1771 replicated with dhcp-option. Useful when using
1772 dhcp-optsfile.
1773
1774 Test which upstream nameserver to use every 10 seconds
1775 or 50 queries and not just when a query times out and
1776 is retried. This should improve performance when there
1777 is a slow nameserver in the list. Thanks to Joe for the
1778 suggestion.
1779
1780 Don't do any PXE processing, even for clients with the
1781 correct vendorclass, unless at least one pxe-prompt or
1782 pxe-service option is given. This stops dnsmasq
1783 interfering with proxy PXE subsystems when it is just
1784 the DHCP server. Thanks to Spencer Clark for spotting this.
1785
1786 Limit the blocksize used for TFTP transfers to a value
1787 which avoids packet fragmentation, based on the MTU of the
1788 local interface. Many netboot ROMs can't cope with
1789 fragmented packets.
1790
1791 Honour dhcp-ignore configuration for PXE and proxy-PXE
1792 requests. Thanks to Niels Basjes for the bug report.
1793
1794 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley77e94da2009-08-31 17:32:17 +01001799 do TFTP to possibly compromise dnsmasq by remote buffer
1800 overflow when TFTP enabled. Thanks to Core Security
1801 Technologies and Iván Arce, Pablo Hernán Jorge, Alejandro
1802 Pablo Rodriguez, Martín Coco, Alberto Soliño Testa and
1803 Pablo Annetta. This problem has Bugtraq id: 36121

1813 Fix regression in 2.48 which disables the lease-change
1814 script. Thanks to Jose Luis Duran for spotting this.
1815
1816 Log TFTP "file not found" errors. These were not logged,
1817 since a normal PXELinux boot generates many of them, but
1818 the lack of the messages seems to be more confusing than
1819 routinely seeing them when there is no real error.
1820
1821 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.

1835 to Steve Grubb for the patch.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001836
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001837 Maintainability drive: removed bug and missing feature
1838 workarounds for some old platforms. Solaris 9, OpenBSD
1839 older than 4.1, Glibc older than 2.2, Linux 2.2.x and
1840 DBus older than 1.1.x are no longer supported.

1851 address nailed to a hostname (not a MAC address) and a
1852 host sometimes provides the name, sometimes not.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001853
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001854 Allow --addn-hosts to take a directory: all the files
1855 in the directory are read. Thanks to Phil Cornelius for
1856 the suggestion.
Simon Kelley9e4abcb2004-01-22 19:47:41 +00001857
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001858 Support --bridge-interface on all platforms, not just BSD.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001859
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001860 Added support for advanced PXE functions. It's now
1861 possible to define a prompt and menu options which will
1862 be displayed when a client PXE boots. It's also possible to
1863 hand-off booting to other boot servers. Proxy-DHCP, where
1864 dnsmasq just supplies the PXE information and another DHCP
1865 server does address allocation, is also allowed. See the
1866 --pxe-prompt and --pxe-service keywords. Thanks to
1867 Alkis Georgopoulos for the suggestion and Guilherme Moro
1868 and Michael Brown for assistance.
Simon Kelley1ab84e22004-01-29 16:48:35 +00001869
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001870 Improvements to DHCP logging. Thanks to Tom Metro for
1871 useful suggestions.
1872
1873 Add ability to build dnsmasq without DHCP support. To do
1874 this, edit src/config.h or build with
1875 "make COPTS=-DNO_DHCP". Thanks to Mahavir Jain for the patch.
1876
1877 Added --test command-line switch - syntax check
1878 configuration files only.
Simon Kelley33820b72004-04-03 21:10:00 +01001879
Simon Kelley7622fc02009-06-04 20:32:05 +01001880 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.

Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001882
1883version 2.47
1884 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
1885
1886 Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD
1887 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch.
1888
1889 Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease
1890 file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow
Josh Soref730c6742017-02-06 16:14:04 +00001891 LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overridden in CFLAGS.
Simon Kelley73a08a22009-02-05 20:28:08 +00001892
1893 Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more
1894 intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address
1895 which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD
1896 (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to
1897 bind to an address in this state returns an error,
1898 EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error,
1899 dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never
1900 listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20
1901 seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should
1902 be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be
1903 adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin
1904 Krafft for the bug report.
1905
1906 Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine.
1907
1908 Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
1909 Fix for this bug:
1910 http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18961
1911
1912 Support arbitrarily encapsulated DHCP options, suggestion
1913 and initial patch from Samium Gromoff. This is useful for
1914 (eg) gPXE, which expect all its private options to be
1915 encapsulated inside a single option 175. So, eg,
1916
1917 dhcp-option = encap:175, 190, "iscsi-client0"
1918 dhcp-option = encap:175, 191, "iscsi-client0-secret"
1919
1920 will provide iSCSI parameters to gPXE.
1921
1922 Enhance --dhcp-match to allow testing of the contents of a
1923 client-sent option, as well as its presence. This
1924 application in mind for this is RFC 4578
1925 client-architecture specifiers, but it's generally useful.
1926 Joey Korkames suggested the enhancement.
1927
1928 Move from using the IP_XMIT_IF ioctl to IP_BOUND_IF on
1929 OpenSolaris. Thanks to Bastian Machek for the heads-up.
1930
1931 No longer complain about blank lines in
1932 /etc/ethers. Thanks to Jon Nelson for the patch.
1933
1934 Fix binding of servers to physical devices, eg
1935 --server=/domain/1.2.3.4@eth0 which was broken from 2.43
1936 onwards unless --query-port=0 set. Thanks to Peter Naulls
1937 for the bug report.
1938
1939 Reply to DHCPINFORM requests even when the supplied ciaddr
1940 doesn't fall in any dhcp-range. In this case it's not
1941 possible to supply a complete configuration, but
1942 individually-configured options (eg PAC) may be useful.
1943
1944 Allow the source address of an alias to be a range:
1945 --alias=192.168.0.0,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0 maps the whole
1946 subnet 192.168.0.0->192.168.0.255 to 10.0.0.0->10.0.0.255,
1947 as before.
1948 --alias=192.168.0.10-192.168.0.40,10.0.0.0,255.255.255.0
1949 maps only the 192.168.0.10->192.168.0.40 region. Thanks to
1950 Ib Uhrskov for the suggestion.
1951
1952 Don't dynamically allocate DHCP addresses which may break
1953 Windows. Addresses which end in .255 or .0 are broken in
1954 Windows even when using supernetting.
1955 --dhcp-range=192.168.0.1,192.168.1.254,255,255,254.0 means
1956 192.168.0.255 is a valid IP address, but not for Windows.
1957 See Microsoft KB281579. We therefore no longer allocate
1958 these addresses to avoid hard-to-diagnose problems.
1959
1960 Update Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
1961
1962 Delete the PID-file when dnsmasq shuts down. Note that by
1963 this time, dnsmasq is normally not running as root, so
1964 this will fail if the PID-file is stored in a root-owned
1965 directory; such failure is silently ignored. To take
1966 advantage of this feature, the PID-file must be stored in a
1967 directory owned and write-able by the user running
1968 dnsmasq.

1970
1971version 2.46
1972 Allow --bootp-dynamic to take a netid tag, so that it may
1973 be selectively enabled. Thanks to Olaf Westrik for the
1974 suggestion.
1975
1976 Remove ISC-leasefile reading code. This has been
1977 deprecated for a long time, and last time I removed it, it
1978 ended up going back by request of one user. This time,
1979 it's gone for good; otherwise it would need to be
1980 re-worked to support multiple domains (see below).
1981
1982 Support DHCP clients in multiple DNS domains. This is a
1983 long-standing request. Clients are assigned to a domain
1984 based in their IP address.
1985
1986 Add --dhcp-fqdn flag, which changes behaviour if DNS names
1987 assigned to DHCP clients. When this is set, there must be
1988 a domain associated with each client, and only
1989 fully-qualified domain names are added to the DNS. The
1990 advantage is that the only the FQDN needs to be unique,
1991 so that two or more DHCP clients can share a hostname, as
1992 long as they are in different domains.
1993
1994 Set environment variable DNSMASQ_DOMAIN when invoking
1995 lease-change script. This may be useful information to
1996 have now that it's variable.
1997
1998 Tighten up data-checking code for DNS packet
1999 handling. Thanks to Steve Dodd who found certain illegal
2000 packets which could crash dnsmasq. No memory overwrite was
2001 possible, so this is not a security issue beyond the DoS
2002 potential.
2003
2004 Update example config dhcp option 47, the previous
2005 suggestion generated an illegal, zero-length,
2006 option. Thanks to Matthias Andree for finding this.
2007
2008 Rewrite hosts-file reading code to remove the limit of
2009 1024 characters per line. John C Meuser found this.
2010
2011 Create a net-id tag with the name of the interface on
2012 which the DHCP request was received.
2013
2014 Fixed minor memory leak in DBus code, thanks to Jeremy
2015 Laine for the patch.
2016
2017 Emit DBus signals as the DHCP lease database
2018 changes. Thanks to Jeremy Laine for the patch.
2019
2020 Allow for more that one MAC address in a dhcp-host
2021 line. This configuration tells dnsmasq that it's OK to
2022 abandon a DHCP lease of the fixed address to one MAC
2023 address, if another MAC address in the dhcp-host statement
2024 asks for an address. This is useful to give a fixed
2025 address to a host which has two network interfaces
2026 (say, a laptop with wired and wireless interfaces.)
2027 It's very important to ensure that only one interface
2028 at a time is up, since dnsmasq abandons the first lease
2029 and re-uses the address before the leased time has
2030 elapsed. John Gray suggested this.
2031
2032 Tweak the response to a DHCP request packet with a wrong
2033 server-id when --dhcp-authoritative is set; dnsmasq now
2034 returns a DHCPNAK, rather than silently ignoring the
2035 packet. Thanks to Chris Marget for spotting this
2036 improvement.
2037
2038 Add --cname option. This provides a limited alias
2039 function, usable for DHCP names. Thanks to AJ Weber for
2040 suggestions on this.
2041
2042 Updated contrib/webmin with latest version from Neil
2043 Fisher.
2044
2045 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2046
2047 Correct the text names for DHCP options 64 and 65 to be
2048 "nis+-domain" and "nis+-servers".
2049
2050 Updated Spanish translation. Thanks to Chris Chatham.
2051
2052 Force re-reading of /etc/resolv.conf when an "interface
2053 up" event occurs.
2054
2055
2056version 2.45
2057 Fix total DNS failure in release 2.44 unless --min-port
2058 specified. Thanks to Steven Barth and Grant Coady for
2059 bugreport. Also reject out-of-range port spec, which could
2060 break things too: suggestion from Gilles Espinasse.
2061
2062
2063version 2.44
2064 Fix crash when unknown client attempts to renew a DHCP
2065 lease, problem introduced in version 2.43. Thanks to
2066 Carlos Carvalho for help chasing this down.
2067
2068 Fix potential crash when a host which doesn't have a lease
2069 does DHCPINFORM. Again introduced in 2.43. This bug has
2070 never been reported in the wild.
2071
2072 Fix crash in netlink code introduced in 2.43. Thanks to
2073 Jean Wolter for finding this.
2074
2075 Change implementation of min_port to work even if min-port
2076 is large.
2077
2078 Patch to enable compilation of latest Mac OS X. Thanks to
2079 David Gilman.
2080
2081 Update Spanish translation. Thanks to Christopher Chatham.
2082
2083
2084version 2.43
2085 Updated Polish translation. Thanks to Jan Psota.
2086
2087 Flag errors when configuration options are repeated
2088 illegally.
2089
2090 Further tweaks for GNU/kFreeBSD
2091
2092 Add --no-wrap to msgmerge call - provides nicer .po file
2093 format.
2094
2095 Honour lease-time spec in dhcp-host lines even for
2096 BOOTP. The user is assumed to known what they are doing in
2097 this case. (Hosts without the time spec still get infinite
2098 leases for BOOTP, over-riding the default in the
2099 dhcp-range.) Thanks to Peter Katzmann for uncovering this.
2100
2101 Fix problem matching relay-agent ids. Thanks to Michael
2102 Rack for the bug report.
2103
2104 Add --naptr-record option. Suggestion from Johan
2105 Bergquist.
2106
2107 Implement RFC 5107 server-id-override DHCP relay agent
2108 option.
2109
2110 Apply patches from Stefan Kruger for compilation on
2111 Solaris 10 under Sun studio.
2112
2113 Yet more tweaking of Linux capability code, to suppress
2114 pointless wingeing from kernel 2.6.25 and above.
2115
2116 Improve error checking during startup. Previously, some
2117 errors which occurred during startup would be worked
2118 around, with dnsmasq still starting up. Some were logged,
2119 some silent. Now, they all cause a fatal error and dnsmasq
2120 terminates with a non-zero exit code. The errors are those
2121 associated with changing uid and gid, setting process
2122 capabilities and writing the pidfile. Thanks to Uwe
2123 Gansert and the Suse security team for pointing out
2124 this improvement, and Bill Reimers for good implementation
2125 suggestions.
2126
2127 Provide NO_LARGEFILE compile option to switch off largefile
2128 support when compiling against versions of uclibc which
2129 don't support it. Thanks to Stephane Billiart for the patch.
2130
2131 Implement random source ports for interactions with
2132 upstream nameservers. New spoofing attacks have been found
2133 against nameservers which do not do this, though it is not
2134 clear if dnsmasq is vulnerable, since to doesn't implement
2135 recursion. By default dnsmasq will now use a different
2136 source port (and socket) for each query it sends
2137 upstream. This behaviour can suppressed using the
2138 --query-port option, and the old default behaviour
2139 restored using --query-port=0. Explicit source-port
2140 specifications in --server configs are still honoured.
2141
2142 Replace the random number generator, for better
2143 security. On most BSD systems, dnsmasq uses the
2144 arc4random() RNG, which is secure, but on other platforms,
2145 it relied on the C-library RNG, which may be
2146 guessable and therefore allow spoofing. This release
2147 replaces the libc RNG with the SURF RNG, from Daniel
2148 J. Berstein's DJBDNS package.
2149
2150 Don't attempt to change user or group or set capabilities
2151 if dnsmasq is run as a non-root user. Without this, the
2152 change from soft to hard errors when these fail causes
2153 problems for non-root daemons listening on high
2154 ports. Thanks to Patrick McLean for spotting this.
2155
2156 Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan.
